The Brave Irishman Escapes UR-
 harmed After An Exciting ExperI- | ence
 TORONTO, Ont, May 1S.-Messrs. O'Brien I and Kilbride visited various Catholic institu-
 tions in the city to-day and were heartily l welcomed. On the streets they were hooted | at several times by roughs, but no serious demonstration took place till this evening. At S:30 o'clock President J. A. Mulligan of the local branch of the National league came into the hotel and asked the party to take a
 walk. Someone suggested that it would
 hardly be safe as crowd of roughs were in the
 street, but MT. o'Brien persisted in going.
 The party got out of the hotel with difficulty
 and when once in the street were surrounded
 by a bowling mob who yelled "traitor," :"
 ''down with the dynamiter," and "God save the Queen" O'Brien was jostled and several
 blows were aimed at him. Finally the little group were driven to bay against wall.
 "You cowardly dogs" shouted O'Brien,
 "don't you see that we are unarmed 3" Groans and misses were the reply. Two pe- 1icemsn standing near made no effort to dis perse the crowd. Mr. O'Brien and his half dozen friends pushed on into Bay street and there the stones began to fly. MT. O'Brien and Secretary Cahill of the local National league lost their hats, while J. P. Wall New York Tribune correspondent, was knocked senseless by a brick. Wall was carried into @ drug store, police man refusing to help. MT. O'Brien attemyted to take refuge in Sharpe's laundry and failing in that rushed into the bicycle store of Thomas Labor, jr., adjoining. A volley of stones shattered the windows and the mob burst into the store yelling like de- mons and showering missiles in the direction which MT. O'Brien had taken toward the end of the store. Some ladies and old women screamed and tainted while the mob tumbled pell nell over bicycles and other machinery, smashing them one against the other in their savage fury amid cries of "Kill the traitor!" 'sHang him." ''Lansdowne forever!" O'Brien, however, was safely led away by an official of the crown land department and reached the hotel in safety. D. P. Cahill was knocked down and received dangerous cuts from broken bottles and more than 8 score of other persons were more or less seriously in jured. MT. Lalor's store was completely wrecked and several hundred dollars worth of his property destroyed. Two more police men appeared, making four in all in the presence of a crowd of fully one thousand ri- oters, who had possession Of the streets for at least half an hour, throwing bricks and cobbestones at the group of unarmed men. Sergeant Adair got cut in the head and when his comrades saw this they moved away to respectable distance and let the mob do as they pleased. Up to midnight the neighborhood of the Rossin House was filled with the mob who groaned and yelled to their hearts, content. MT. O'Brien speaks in Ottawa tomorrow, in Kingston Friday and in Hamilton on Monday.
